Blind side monitoring?

Is getting this installed and at reasonable price just a myth?

This is my fix. Works great. Install on the lower outside corner of both mirrors.

Shop PETERSON 2-in Convex Blind Spot Mirror at Lowes.com

Is there an aftermarket mirror that have a split blind spot mirror? I've seen it on the ford fusion. It's pretty handy and better than the stick on convex

You're right. Much less than I was anticipating. That said, not on my mod list.

Horrible blind spot behind driver side door on the Sedan..... I just look over my shoulder before making a move. I personally don't like the split mirror things. My wife had them on her 09 Sebring vert. They were more in the way then anything.

Interesting that the Goshers kit includes monitors on the front corners. I think I'd move those to the edge of the front fascia and use them as "front lip" monitors. This car has about 6 inches in the front that is hard to account for by looking out over the hood from the driver's seat.

We already have sonar in the rear bumpers used for backing up. Dont know why Infiniti didn't just use those for blind spotting. Dont see the need for front corner sonar...

The Lexus HS250 H has a front panoramic camera that you can switch on if your nosing out into traffic. Turns off automatically after you reach a certain speed, as well. Kinda a cool thing, wish this was on the G.
